Rising Vehicle Production and Sales
India's automobile industry is experiencing noticeable growth, influenced by rapid urbanization, rising disposable income, and improved road infrastructure. The growing demand for passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, and two-wheelers is driving the demand for automotive filters, which are critical to engine efficiency, fuel filtration, and cabin air quality. With leading automakers increasing their production capacities in India, the demand for oil filters, fuel filters, air filters, and cabin filters keeps growing. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in September 2024, the overall output of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles reached 27,73,039 units. The growth of the used car market also contributes to the demand for replacement filters, further fueling the India automotive filter market share.
Growth in Electric Vehicle (EV) Adoption and Hybrid Vehicles
The rise in electric vehicle (EV) adoption in India is driving demand for specialized filtration systems for battery cooling, HVAC systems, and drivetrain equipment. EVs are different from traditional vehicles in that they do not need oil and fuel filters, but they still require air, cabin, and coolant filters to realize maximum performance. As hybrid cars become increasingly popular, a combination of traditional and cutting-edge filtration solutions will be needed. As the government emphasizes EV production and incentives for clean transportation, filter makers are pushing the limits to deliver new technological needs. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), in 2024, EVs made up more than 50% of 3-wheelers, roughly 5% of 2-wheelers, and 2% of all vehicles purchased. With increased investment over the next eight to ten years, India is expected to overtake all other EV markets by 2030. India aims to raise the proportion of EV sales to 30% for private cars, 70% for commercial vehicles, 40% for buses, and 80% for two- and three-wheelers by 2030. The lofty target of 80 million EVs on Indian roads by 2030 has been set. India's 'Make in India' initiative also seeks to create all EVs in the country. This, in turn, will increase the demand for automotive filters across the country.
Expanding Aftermarket and Maintenance Services
India’s automotive aftermarket industry is growing rapidly, driven by longer vehicle lifespans and increased consumer awareness of regular maintenance. With more vehicle owners prioritizing engine longevity, fuel efficiency, and air quality, the demand for replacement automotive filters is rising. The expansion of service centers, multi-brand workshops, and e-commerce platforms has made it easier for consumers to access high-quality OEM and aftermarket filters, creating a positive India automotive filter market outlook. Additionally, increasing sales of performance-enhancing and eco-friendly filters are contributing to market growth, making aftermarket sales a crucial segment in India's automotive filter industry. For instance, in December 2023, Tier 1 automotive parts supplier Uno Minda introduced a new line of aftermarket filters designed for the commercial vehicle sector. The company states that a vehicle's engine requires top-notch filters to operate effectively and achieve maximum performance. Pollutants like dirt, dust, and other debris can readily corrode the engine and other expensive internal parts of a vehicle. The air filters serve as a reliable shield against them, guaranteeing the efficiency and durability of the engine and other essential parts.
